From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Oh, oh. You can drag a window from a screen you can't see to a screen you can. Doesn't sound like a big deal til you are in bed and forgot to put a window on your big tv to pick your next item to watch
EDIT: what, did I miss on windows where you can select 'move' on the task manager and then move the window off a monitor you can't see? lol
